Air Force MEB Timeline

Yes, that's the final one.

And yes, mine also had BEL, the actual breakdown letter isn't visible to us, but PEBLO will have it.
My last question, is the BEL what I need to sign my 1180, or is this some in-between step? It feels like I got the rating super-fast, I'm thinking this is more of a "Proposed rating" kind of thing.

My timeline is similar to yours, i got my 1st myfss email on 17 Dec. On the VA app it shows 5 of 5 complete 7 Feb (i was able to call the VA and get my proposed ratings emailed to me) but still no word from afpc. My peblo doesn't have any updates for me. I'm getting worried because it seems like as soon as the VA finishes their proposed ratings people are getting their DoD ratings within a few days. Mine is approaching 3 weeks now.

Yeah, that is a bit strange I have seen some take upwards up to a month but those were a slim few. But I also learned on this forum that sometimes the PEB can ask the VA to reevaluate the unfitting condition if they believe it's different than what the VA rated, there is a ton of factors that play into it. Really hope you hear something soon though good news is as long as your PEBLO is aware and communicating to you it's not stuck it's just taking time.

correct proposed rating once your PEBLO emails you they will have the BEL and Narrative to your ratings included along with the 1180, I recommend talking with the ODC because it doesn't hurt and there are things they can help with even outside of an FPEB when you reciveve your findings.

We have made it to the end boys and girls it's been a heck of a run, I'd have to say the hardest part of my timeline was the DBQ's being uploaded for the PEBLO it went to the exact 30 day mark that the doctors have to upload them and I guess it kind of sat me up to what to expect from the PEB side of things its long and demanding everyday you will check the VA App praying and hoping, my best advice is to do whatever eases your mind for me it wasn't knowing anything about where it was on the VA side I don't like to know I moved an inch in a mile long race I'd much rather just be surprised I made it. unless of course I was there for an up-surd amount of time than I have to ask lol, but if you do better with knowing then do it do whatever is going to spring that small amount of happiness because it's tough everyday feels long. Thank you all for the responses and likes because those made things a whole lot easier knowledge is power and there is a lot of knowledge here.
 
I declined my retirement ceremony, since I only did 3 years. But I want the certificate and the flag. I should still be getting those, right? Medical retirement counts as regular retirement?
did you get the certificate/flag?
